| The Federal dispatches from
Point of Rocks, Maryland, September 11, furnish the subjoined
intelligence: |
| Union men from Martinsburg on
Saturday report that the rebels have taken up the entire track of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad from that town to North Mountain, a
distance of nine miles, and transported the rails,
&c., to Winchester, for the extension of the Alexandria, Loudoun
& Hampshire railroad, from Strasburg to that point. The track torn
up was lately relaid by the company. |
| At Duffield's Station, on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, the rebels were busily engaged in
further plundering the road of some seven or eight of the new
first-class locomotives, which they were taking down for
transportation to Winchester. The locomotives had but recently been
put upon the route. Some of them are of the heaviest kind, and were
probably spared by the rebels in their recent vandal acts of
destruction on account of the adaptability of these engines for the
transportation of troop trains in Virginia. |
